News Blog - For May 2009

1. AtomSite Manager is a Work-in-progress

   The AtomSite Manager is new to version 1.0.  Although we made a lot of progress on the administration area, there is still many features that are missing or under construction.

   We are striving to be similar to WordPress which means there will eventually be a ton of features.  However, there are major differences in platform and technologies which take time to build out.  Thanks for being patient as we make progress.

   Common Annoyances with current AtomSite Manager

   • Missing link at top to return to site
   • • Workaround by selecting an entry and choosing "View Entry"
   • Can't insert images or links into posts using the WYSIWYG editor
   • • Workaround by editing the xhtml in source view to add them manually
     • • For example, add the media first then link to the image in source view using an tag
     • Or, use Live Writer
   • Can't use the QuickPub widget on the dashboard
   • • Workaround by using the regular Add Entry page
   • Can't upload plugin on plugin page
   • • Workaround by uploading the plugin using ftp or xcopy into your site
   • Can't add or update users or change their roles
   • • Workaround by editing the service.config and user.config files directly

   Please let us know if you find any other annoyances or workarounds.
